mineAlloy annual meeting 2019

November 8, 2019

The mineAlloy team had its annual meeting in Waurn Ponds earlier this week. The meeting was well attended by delegates from around the country and from overseas.

The morning session included presentations by Prof Veli-Tapani Kuokkala from Tampere University (Finland), Mr John McCracken from Australian Ceramics Engineering in Perth, and Prof Matthew Barnett from Deakin University.

The afternoon session was dedicated to the students and researchers, who gave short presentations about their respective projects. Finally, the researchers met with their counterparts in industry to discuss the progress and to plan the next steps.

The attendees described the conference as a fantastic opportunity for cross-learning and collaboration.

mineAlloy is a new centre led by Deakin University, formed with a $4.8 million grant from the Australian Research Council under its Industrial Transformation Training Centre scheme, and supported by a cross-section of industry and research partners.
